What a FUN photography session when this beautiful family came in to the Studio on Sunday morning! This stunning mother won one of our free family photography mini sessions recently on facebook- and what a pleasure it was to photograph their children! These kids were SO sweet, and such little hams… seriously a fun (and funny, at times!) portrait session. Their family pictures are beautiful, we captured so many loving and sweet interactions between the kids and their mother and father… here are just a few of my favorites- their image gallery will have SO many for them to choose from! Specials and offers like this will be on facebook from time to time on our Proud To Introduce Photography page- check it out if you haven’t yet!
Check in later this week for some fun news on our partnership with Adoption Resources of Wisconsin! Any local blog readers who have adopted a child will want to check back in on this!

Viewing and ordering appointments are pretty fun. It’s ALWAYS exciting to show clients all of their finished images for the first time. It’s great to hear what their favorites are and which ones they don’t love, fun to compare my favorites with theirs… fun to help them consider finishes, sizes, etc. All that is great, but last night’s ordering appointment takes the cake.
As we were chatting, after all the “business” was taken care of, my wonderful client told me about how they really were not sure that I got any good images. I nodded, because I hear that very often.
But she went on… to tell me that they got in my car after the session, and she told me all about the hilareous conversations that ensued. And about the hilareousness (is that a word?) of what happened in the hour leading up to the session, losing *the* hat, screaming about it, searching all over, running late because of the hat, getting stuck by the train, and finally, giving the kids treats and smiling happy SO well that I never had a clue!!
Oh, it was the funniest thing. But it gets better. She told me that she could not read me. That she is generally pretty darn good at getting a feel for a person, a situation, but that with me, she got nothing! She could not tell if I thought it was a good session, nor if I thought her kids were good or difficult. I assured her that I knew right away that it was a GREAT session, that her children were PERFECT… (better and easier than expected, for their ages!)
… she said that during the session, I was so very focused that she couldn’t “read” me at all. I worried that that meant that I seemed unfriendly, but she said no- not unfriendly, just… focused. ((During a session, I am definitely in creative mode. Really thinking and paying close attention to the light, the backgrounds, and of course, expressions, interactions, keeping the kids happy, etc.))
I love this story so much, it is SO fun and interesting for me to hear about what people thought and what their reactions are/were during and after a session. I do hear very very often “I hope we got some good images…” and we *always* do…. it’s so funny the way clients are surprised during the viewing and ordering appointment- I love it.
Anyway, thank you B, for being the most fun I have ever had during an ordering appointment. Thank you for sharing your great stories… I have not laughed that much in so long… and your story about the hat, getting there, not acting stressed out…… funniest thing I’ve heard… and I needed that good laugh.

Well, as some of you know, we went ahead and did the mini session event on Sunday despite the rain. I set up a simple black background… which is NOT something that I normally do outside of newborn sessions, but it worked out beautifully!
I couldn’t fathom putting this off another two weeks until the scheduled rain date, because I feared not having the time to get your cards to you quickly enough- I am so glad that it all worked out the way it did!
So mini session clients… keep your eyes open for an email before 10 am this Friday, the 19th. I am working hard on your proofs and online galleries!
I have seen this little man so many times, for which I am extremely thankful… the first of which was when he was a newborn… and much to my surprise, all of a sudden, he looks SO grown up, so much bigger, older than he did just a few months ago, I was just amazed. Each and every time I see him, he looks bigger, older, a little different… but THIS time was unbelievable! Wow, he’s gorgeous.

If you’re online browsing for a moment, stop and check out an article: http://www.wauwatosanow.com/story/index.aspx?id=629957
I really am excited and thrilled to have this improved way of showing you your images. It just doesn’t do some images justice to see them in 5×7 prints when making your selections. So far, it has been a tremendous success… the viewing and ordering sessions that have utilized this have appreciated being able to see all of the detail in each of their images… it’s wonderful.
I have to run out for a session but will be in later to post some sneak peeks!
